Flagfox - Displays a country flag depicting the location of the current website's server - Web Development Tools

Flagfox is an extension for Mozilla Firefox that shows a flag icon, either in the status bar or in the address bar, indicating the current website's server location.

It uses relatively little resources, and works by accessing an IP address database contained within the extension rather than relying on top-level-domain roots like ".com" or ".uk". Clicking the icon loads Geotool, which provides a map of the location as well as more information such as the ISP and city.

The context menu also provides quick access to information about the country of origin, as well as the ability to lookup the site's registrant via Whois.

Since Flagfox 3.3 it is also possible to add a custom lookup to the context menu.

NoScript - The best security you can get in a web browser! - Web Development Tools

NoScript Firefox extension provides extra protection for Firefox, Flock, Seamonkey and other mozilla-based browsers: this free, open source add-on allows JavaScript, Java and Flash and other plugins to be executed only by trusted web sites of your choice (e.g. your online bank), and provides the most powerful Anti-XSS protection available in a browser.

NoScript's unique whitelist based pre-emptive script blocking approach prevents exploitation of security vulnerabilities (known and even not known yet!) with no loss of functionality...

You can enable JavaScript, Java and plugin execution for sites you trust with a simple left-click on the NoScript status bar icon (look at the picture), or using the contextual menu, for easier operation in popup statusbar-less windows.
